The plant health still looks good! Keep her going with numbers in the teens and the WR could ne yours!
Pray for heavy!

I don't know the answer to would your pumpkin be heavier at say day 110 than 130 due to the flesh drying out as it ripens even though it's still putting on inches finishing the way a pumpkin hardens its skin up at maturity

Just a suggestion: if you see any kind of danger, something that isn't right, come to Spain with one of them. Don't let them miss any weigh-off If the pumpkin is OK and continues to grow, continue to the WR, I want you to get it with all my heart.

Good advice above. After already losing 3? I believe and only 2 left it definitely will be a very tough decision as to when harvest them? Rest of the pumpkin world would want you to get them officially weighed! All the best with your call and you nail it. Nothing way worse than not taking one to a contest and only discover a split few days later.

Ian- great pumpkin i agree with the above. Also the pumpkin may be growing more than you think according to OTT. Growing on scakes for several years the fruits can grow much more than the tape tells. I wish you the best. Go for the WR i am rooting for you all!!
